Also%2C I don%27t want you to get %5Bi%5Dtoo%5B%2Fi%5D excited%2C but this draft has roughly doubled in size over the last few days.%0D%0A%0D%0ALet%27s get some %5Bi%5Dteasing%5B%2Fi%5D going on up in this bitch%21  Here is a complete music cue%2C start to finish%2C from the early going.%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Btt%5D%5Bpre%5D                            %2F%2A  Klaus Badelt%0D%0A                         %22The Medallion Calls%22%0D%0A    _Pirates of the Caribbean%3A Curse of the Black Pearl_ %282003%29  %2A%2F%0D%0A%0D%0A        Utena Tenjou strode through the Valiant%27s corridors%2C nodding%0D%0Aacknowledgements to the greetings of crewmen she passed.  The ship had%0D%0Amore than a full complement aboard%3B most of the people who%27d brought her%0D%0Athrough from Zeta had stayed on to help with the upcoming fight%2C since%0D%0Aher own crew was both scattered throughout the task force and likely to%0D%0Aend up involved in the ground operation.  The halls seemed unusually%0D%0Acrowded and unusually formal with all these uniformed personnel.  There%0D%0Awas a definite buzz in the air%2C a going-to-war vibe that made everything%0D%0Aseem that much more immediate - that much more serious.%0D%0A        She entered the turbolift and rode it to deck C%3B when she%0D%0Aemerged%2C a team of damage-control crewmen was waiting to get on.%0D%0A        %22Hey%2C Commodore%2C%22 said the red-headed young man in the lead.%0D%0A%22Back in the saddle again%2C eh%3F%22%0D%0A        %22Will Evans%2C%22 said Utena%2C grinning.  %22What are you doing here%3F%0D%0AI thought you were on the Newcomen.%22%0D%0A        %22I was transferred to the Insouciant last week%2C but she%27s not%0D%0Afinished fitting out.  When the call came in for this mission%2C I figured%0D%0AI%27d tag along and get some Defiant-class experience.%22%0D%0A        She shook her head%2C still grinning%2C and clapped his shoulder as%0D%0Ahe entered the lift.  %22We should all be so dedicated%2C%22 she said.  %22Glad%0D%0Ato have you%2C Will.%22%0D%0A        She arrived in the engine room to find it%2C too%2C abuzz with%0D%0Aactivity and sporting a far larger crew than usual.  Corwin usually ran%0D%0Athings down here with two or three assistants%3B now there was a crew more%0D%0Alike would be found aboard a conventional ship this size%2C a dozen or%0D%0Amore people%2C some in IPSF tech jumpsuits%2C some in the blue coveralls of%0D%0AInternational Police Tech Division shipyard workers.  She had expected%0D%0Ato see Zed Cochrane down here riding herd on the gang%2C but instead%2C the%0D%0Aperson standing in the middle of the room doing the supervising was%0D%0Asomebody she knew%2C but hadn%27t been expecting at all.%0D%0A        %22Tali%21%22 she cried%2C delighted.%0D%0A        The young quarian turned at the sound of her name%2C her body%0D%0Alanguage brightening at the sight of Utena%2C and returned the captain%27s%0D%0Ahug with enthusiasm.%0D%0A        %22You made it after all%21%22 said Utena.%0D%0A        %22Barely%2C%22 Tali%27Zorah replied.  %22There I was%2C so proud of myself%0D%0Afor having made it to New Avalon by this morning%2C only to discover that%0D%0Ayou weren%27t -there%2C- you were on Babylon 6.%22  She shrugged.  %22But%2C as%0D%0Athey say%2C Keelah provides.%22%0D%0A        %22Well%2C hey%2C you%27re out%2C that%27s the main thing%2C%22 said Utena.%0D%0A        %22And heading straight into a battle%2C no less%2C%22 Tali said wryly.%0D%0A%22Father would be furious.  Oh%2C wait%2C he is anyway.%22%0D%0A        Utena grinned and made a dismissive gesture.  %22He didn%27t -have-%0D%0Ato sign the waiver.  And hey%2C thanks to this%2C you didn%27t miss the%0D%0Awedding.%22  She frowned thoughtfully.  %22Mostly.  Not sure what we%27re%0D%0Agoing to do about that yet.  Ah%2C well%2C one thing at a time.  Speaking of%0D%0Awhich%2C I%27d better get to work.  Got everything you need down here%3F%22%0D%0A        %22Please%2C%22 said Tali.  %22You%27re talking to a quarian in the engine%0D%0Aroom of a ship that%27s practically brand new.  My biggest problem will be%0D%0Athe lack of things to fix.%22%0D%0A        Utena put a hand behind her head and smiled a little ruefully.%0D%0A%22Oh%2C I%27m sure we%27ll take care of that soon enough.%22%0D%0A        %22Or Earthforce will%2C%22 Tali agreed.  %22I was actually expecting to%0D%0Abe bumped out of the job when we got here - where%27s Corwin%3F%22%0D%0A        %22He%27s bringing Daggerdisc.%22%0D%0A        %22Ah.  Good idea.  You never know when you might need to blow%0D%0Asomething up very%2C very much%2C%22 Tali said with a phantom wink.  %22At any%0D%0Arate%2C Commodore%2C we%27re ready and able down here.%22%0D%0A        %22Good to have you here%2C%22 Utena said%2C giving her another quick%0D%0Ahug%2C and then she returned to the bridge.%0D%0A        Once there%2C she just had to pause for a moment and take a slow%0D%0Alook around.  Here in this familiar compact space%2C with her crew taking%0D%0Atheir stations and getting to work all around her%2C she felt... pride%3F%0D%0AConfidence%3F   All of that%2C really%2C but above all she felt -comfortable.-%0D%0AAt home.  Like this%2C above anywhere else%2C was where she belonged right%0D%0Anow.%0D%0A        She took her center seat%2C settled back%2C and watched on the main%0D%0Aviewer as the rest of TRIDENT Group Red formed up and prepared to jump%0D%0Ato lightspeed.  The Klingon battlecruiser HoSghaj had a place in that%0D%0Aformation%2C and Utena smiled at the sight.  Years before%2C Gryphon had%0D%0Aarranged for Utena to spend a spare day aboard HoSghaj%2C which was then%0D%0Astationed at what was%2C at the time%2C still the Babylon Station%0D%0Aconstruction area.  She hadn%27t known it when she agreed%2C but he%27d also%0D%0Aarranged for to be put in -command- of said battlecruiser for his%0D%0A%28Klingons always called their ships %22he%22%29 day%27s patrol of the B%27hava%27el%0D%0Asystem.%0D%0A        When questioned about this%2C Commander Krontep had explained%2C %22He%0D%0Atold me he thought if you once tasted command%2C you%27d never rest until%0D%0Ayou had it back.%22  At the time%2C Utena had though that was silly. Her%2C a%0D%0ASpace Captain%3F  She was%2C at the time%2C just a girl in her mid-teens%2C one%0D%0Awho had grown up in a world where there was no such thing as space%0D%0Atravel%2C to boot.  It had seemed like one of Gryphon%27s little jokes%2C a%0D%0Alark to spend an afternoon with.%0D%0A        Except that he%27d been absolutely right.%0D%0A        Noting a gap in the formation%2C she thumbed one of the comm keys%0D%0Aon her conn%27s armrest.  %22Daggerdisc%2C Valiant.  What%27s the holdup%3F%22%0D%0A        %22Picking up a hitchhiker.  I%27ll tell you later%2C%22 Corwin replied%2C%0D%0Asounding slightly disgruntled about something.  %22Getting under way now.%0D%0AStand by.%22%0D%0A        Utena arched an eyebrow at the comm panel%2C but said nothing%3B she%0D%0Aknew that whatever was going on over there%2C it was sufficiently annoying%0D%0Ato put Corwin in Terse Mode%2C and pestering him with follow-up questions%0D%0Awasn%27t going to do anything to improve matters.  A few moments later%2C%0D%0ADaggerdisc emerged from Babylon 6%27s forward docking bay and moved into%0D%0Aformation.%0D%0A        %22Okay%2C listen up%2C Red Group%2C%22 Utena declared on fleet all-call.%0D%0A%22We%27re going in by the Blue Route today%3B it%27ll be a lot less obvious%0D%0Athan warping into the system or punching a metapoint at the far end%2C and%0D%0Afor -damn- sure less obvious than using Illustrious%27s wave motion%0D%0Aspacefold.  Set your helms to hyperspace slave and let%27s go make the%0D%0Adonuts.%22%0D%0A        %22All task group ships are online and tied across in hyperspace%0D%0Aslave mode%2C%22 Gus Grissom reported from the helm station as%0D%0Aacknowledgements flowed in from the various vessels on the overhead%0D%0Aspeakers.  %22I have control%3B the board is green.%22%0D%0A        Miki Kaoru finished punching keys at the navigator%27s station and%0D%0Areported%2C %22Master course plotted and locked in.  All stations online.%22%0D%0A        Utena nodded.  %22Commence hyperspace countdown on my mark...%0D%0A-mark.-%22%0D%0A        %22Group Red%2C this is Valiant%2C%22 Grissom said crisply%2C his fingers%0D%0Aplying the helm controls as if he%27d been operating a Defiant-class%0D%0Adestroyer in flag mode all his career.  %22Fleet hyperspace maneuver in%0D%0Aten seconds.
